well when i saw that this game was coming out i was eager to play it because i am an avid fan of the tony hawk games

my favourite being the third or thug 2

but when i managed to get this game i was somewhat amused but disapointed

the game has some glitches that always happen at the same spot in the game

the graphics are an imrovement from previous versions and yet again the soundtrack is awsome XD with new bands covering some old time songs which i found very good

the story takes place as you are a "farmboy" coming to los angeles where skating originated and when you get off the bus you get beat up and your stuff taken then a girl comes along and helps you make it and you get your stuff and become a big skater.

there are new places in this and the feature i was pleased about was the no loading tiimes :o:o wait did i just say that? no loading times in a tony hawks game?

yeah i did say that it is intresing how they link all parts together.

the glitches i found in the game were that on a mission where you had to repeatedly had to tap a button it did not work no matter now hard you tapped so i restarted the game and used a turbo boost controller :p
the game also features a bmx where you can ride it and learn trikes from a character and he will way you.

the bike has a few snags because you keep falling off for the slightest things which if you wre to do inb real life you probably wouldnt fall

the game also features a new free running style called parkour in which you learn this off a french chef dude

you also dont learn the focus feature till later in the game from a master dojo type dude

while this is the 7th tony hawk game to come from neversoft and activision i still think there could be many many more great games as long as they get rid of the gltiches make it bigger and improve the features then they wont go away soon

i am hoping to see a ps3 version of tony hawk sometime around the ps3s relase but i doubt there will be :(
